Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

A little disappointed in grimlock. He has too many distinct features of the animated version. He might work for classics. I want to see him out of the box. I wish somebody would open up the Shockwave already. I want to see if he is going to be a more G1 cartoon accurate purple. Photos of purple always seem to be more bluish that in real life. I want him to be bluish this time. And by the way those cap-bots just suck. A failed attempt to try to appeal to urban collectors. Stick to actual clothes.

Ultra Magnus' Corona Glaive may be the best looking, followed by the Leonid Tonfa. Since when do tonfas have blades? Shockwave's Shooting Star Scissors (try saying that 3 times fast) is downright silly. O well.

After playing through FoC for the 3rd time, I can't wait to get Grimmy. Playing as him was the best part of the game, for me. The child side of me is dying to set up a bunch of Decepticon Legion-class figures and make FoC Grimlock trample them Godzilla-style.

Suddenly appearing on present-day Earth after sensing the threat of Unicron, Leo Prime is a Transformer elder who has crossed over from a distant dimension. On his former world, he was a revered high commander known as Great Lio Convoy. In order to avoid a space-time disturbance, he refrains from interfering in the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. However, should Unicron awaken once again, he has vowed to use his ancient sword, drawing power from his Energon Matrix, to put a stop to the evil force.

Super Combo Weapon:Leonid Tonfa

So... Leo Prime is the very same Lio Convoy from after both Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo, having dimension-hopped from the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity into the Japanese Prime continuity.

I'm both impressed and indifferent towards this. I like how he's actually got a backstory and ended up being an established character, but at the same time, I guess I was hoping for an Aligned Continuity incarnation of Lio Convoy instead of the same exact guy having dimension-hopped and gotten a new body. Oh well.

DAMN! I didn't think a bio could completely turn me around on a character! I was looking at Blaster and I kept thinking what a waste of money buying that repaint would be, but checking out that bio now makes me kinda want him.

Grimlock is gonna be a buy-on-site for me, so I'm gonna need to keep around an extra $30 on me.

Need it need it need it need it need it need it need it need it need it need it.

QFT! I loved the FOC game too and really enjoyed playing as Grimlock. I especially liked seeing most of his team running around with him as well. When you do this, you must post pictures on here. I share your excitement and cannot wait to get him! I may even buy 2...one to play with and one to display because I know I'll be transforming him a lot!

They didn't use Prime Shockwave's animation model for the Prime Shockwave figure that's the same as the FoC figure.

Why am I not surprised?

Site sponsor Robotkingdom has shared some in-hand images of the highly anticipated Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Voyagers Grimlock and Blaster with Steeljaw via their facebook page. We get to see the figure in both modes, his accessories, and a comparison with Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Class Optimus Prime. We've mirrored their images below.

I just nerded all over the place. Grimlock looks AMAZING! I'm sure he'll probably be a little hollow, but he's HUGE. AND Hasbro CAN do an LED gimmick right, gasp! Blaster looks great too, but I'm planning on picking up Soundwave.

im afraid of what grimlock is going to cost now, hes twice the size of a deluxe & has lights. Id be very surprised if he stays $20. But the first thing is finding him, there still hasnt been any FoC figures in any of the stores here. Been keeping my eye out for Soundwave and there arent even spots for them.

It looks like the section with the neck (gold part) and head will collapse into the section with the beast arms, which will then collapse behind the robot head. The beast head obviously ends up -inside- the chest in order to achieve the LED gimmick in robot mode. You can see a pinned hinge in the first picture of his beast mode and in the fourth picture of the robot mode (with the shield front and sword raised) you can see the gold part of the neck collapsed into that silver section where I assume the beast arms are. In proper Grimlock fashion, his legs are his tail and his his arms are his beast legs.

I do have to say, I kind of miss the beast kibble wings, they were a nice touch, but I won't lose sleep over it. They certainly did an awesome job with this guy, I love how his hand can hinge down into his arm!
